Well the Carbon Express arrows I use out of mine are 8.8 per inch (30 inches total) and I use a 100 grain BH so that brings it to right around 370 grains total once you add in the fletch and inserts. I haven't put it through the chrony yet but it shoots right in the 300 fps range I think. May just put it through a chrony this evening just to see. Ribs are healed up enough to draw a few arrows I think. So even with say a 450 grain total weight you SHOULD be getting around 285 to 290 which as you well know is more than enough to get a good pass through on a mangy little old deer out to 40 yards Especially using those logs of yours.

Speaking of those logs, have you been able to find any good cedar stock lately? I just hung the last of my stock for final turn straightening and am having a little difficulty finding some good cedar for turning. The crap around here is all grained up and would shatter hitting a foam target!
